Top football referee Mark Clattenburg has been dropped for this weekend's Premier League fixtures after breaking protocol to attend a pop concert.
The 39-year-old referee drove home alone after West Brom's game against Crystal Palace so he could watch an Ed Sheeran concert in Newcastle.
The rules of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) state officials must travel to and from the ground together.
It has also emerged Mr Clattenburg broke another rule by speaking to Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock on the phone after the 2-2 draw at the Hawthorns.
According to the PGMOL, a referee can only speak to a manager 30 minutes after the game. Any conversation must also take place in front of the referee's assistants.
Following the breaches, the PGMOL board decided not to select the referee for any Premier League games this weekend.
Mr Clattenburg has been disciplined by the PGMOL in the past.
He was sacked five years ago by the PGMOL after an investigation into his "private business affairs". The punishment was reduced to an eight-month ban on appeal.
In 2012, Mr Clattenburg was accused of racially abusing Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel during their match against Manchester United, although he was cleared by the Football Association.
Referee Stuart Attwell will now be in charge of Leicester's home game against West Brom on Saturday.
The game at Leicester will be the referee's first Premier League match in more than two years.
